But one day Mr.. Kane brought home .

white bristles, looking pretty enough for
any lady to take into her lap.
Mrs. Name was charmed with the pig
and made pet Of him 1T once, much
to Bruno's disgust. He would act rs
sulky and jealous as could be whenever
Mrs. Kane petted piggy. and would
never notice the little fellow, unless to
give him a spiteful little dip whenever
he had . good chance. Piggy
was so little that they gave
him the run of the yard. One
day Mrs. Kane heard q fearful squealing
and stepped out to see what was the
matter. What do you think? Bruno
had the poor little fellow in his mouth,
and he carried him to puddle of black.
sticky mud and dropped him into the
very middle. where he stuck fast,
squealing louder than ever. Then
Bruno came running to his mistress,
with his tongue lolIing out, and his
brown eyes twinkling. as much as to

haven't I?'
'.Shame on you. Bruno!" said his
mistress; "a great dog like you teasing

Bruno turned and scampered back to
the puddle. He iished out the little
pig. brought him back, and laid him at
his mistress feet. the dirtiest little pig

water and q broom and scrub him.
